James Hollender

I am a keen runner having taken part in runs of all distances and difficulties. My proudest moment being completing 'The Wall' in 2017, a 69 mile run from Carlisle to Newcastle despite a knee injury. My favourite courses are night runs, I love the atmosphere and seeing a trail of head torches snaking through the night. I am an England Athletics qualified Coach in Running Fitness (CiRF) and Guide Runner for visually impaired runners. I love encouraging and helping people with their running goals and truly believe everyone is capable of running regardless of their age, ethnicity, fitness level and abilities.
